NOVEL NEXT Chapter 75: Come to the Bowl
Recently, after earning numerous emotional rewards, Mu An felt a bit troubled.
He had an inexplicable feeling of being lonely at the top, with no rivals in the world!
He didn't plan to be idle either; he simply checked his personal panel and found that he had unknowingly accumulated four plot fragments.
This thing is naturally better used early to know how to layout!

[The specific time of the arrest operation is as follows...]
————————
After understanding all four plot fragments at once, the amount of information was immense.
Mu An couldn't help but rub his forehead.
This time, not only were there new protagonists and new troubles, but there were also many opportunities for the protagonists waiting for him to intercept!
The Golden Eye protagonist Lin Fan, right?
He also wants to pursue his own sister (a big gold mine), right?
Mu An sneered.
Cutting off someone's 'financial path' is like killing their parents; this is a feud that cannot coexist!
How could a big gold mine that he has already set his sights on be touched by others?
For the first time, he felt an urgent impulse to want to eliminate the other party!
Not long after.
Lin Zichan called, still using that familiar cold tone.
Moreover, she got straight to the point and directly stated her purpose.
"Hello, is this Young Master Mu?"
"I would like to invite you to a charity auction with me tomorrow. I'm not sure if you have time?"
It was surprising that she took the initiative to invite him.
Mu An felt a bit unexpected.
He had been thinking of finding some reason to stroll around that charity auction!
[Warm reminder from the system: All of this is due to the increase in your luck, host!]
[With higher luck, you may automatically trigger corresponding opportunities, so it's not necessary for every time to be informed in advance by plot fragments.]
[At the same time, the rewards triggered by the female lead's emotions will become richer!]
[In addition, luck is elusive and has many mysterious effects!]
——————
Mu An pondered.
He had always thought that his luck was merely a decoration.
He didn't expect it to be quite useful?
"Young Master Mu, are you listening?"
Not hearing a response, Lin Zichan sounded a bit puzzled.
"Going to the charity auction? I have no problem with that! Do you have anything else?"
Mu An lazily stretched and casually popped a piece of fruit into his mouth.
To be honest, after getting used to the little maid's 'feeding', he found it a bit strange to eat by himself now.
On the other end of the phone, Lin Zichan suddenly became hesitant.
It seemed she was debating whether to say something or how to say it.
"Also..."
But she gritted her teeth and decided to say it.
"Also, I hope you can come home with me as my fake boyfriend!"
"Taking advantage of this Lin family banquet, I want to prove our relationship to my parents and the family!"
Mu An remained calm inside.
But on the surface, he still wore the 'free-spirited' face of the Mu family young master.
After all, a big gold mine delivered to his door in the morning, it would be a waste not to extract some gold coins from her!
"Pretend to be a couple? Hehe!"
"President Lin, it seems you still haven't figured out our true relationship!"
"Why should I help you? Please give me a reason to help you!"
"Or I can be more direct, please give me a condition that excites me!"
"As a president, you should know what equivalent exchange means!
"Don't you think so, my dear... 'fiancée'!"
Lin Zichan was left speechless.
She knew he wouldn't be easy to fool!
"What condition do you want?"
Lin Zichan took a deep breath and asked.
Previously, her uncles and relatives from the Lin family had been suppressing her family.
Things only improved a bit after she signed the engagement with the Mu family.
But due to the significant increase in her company's revenue over the years, there hadn't been much gossip about her relationship with the Mu family young master.
Now, those money-hungry guys were starting to suppress her family again!
So, she urgently needed someone to keep them in check!
And that person was her nominal 'fiancé', the young master of the Mu family, Mu An!
[Inner turmoil from Lin Zichan +12, congratulations, you have received the reward [Proficiency +1200]!]
...
"Three times!"
"You're a smart person, no need to pretend to be confused, you should know what I'm talking about?"
Mu An stroked his chin and proposed a request he deemed appropriate.
Last time, he used that strange-flavored popping candy to prank her and got a bunch of emotional rewards.
Now that such a good opportunity to extract gold coins was right in front of him, he naturally had to seize it!
[Hehe, I'm just a heartless villain! I love extracting gold coins from the female lead!]
Mu An silently added some drama to himself in his heart.
"Three times might be too much..."
Lin Zichan bit her silver teeth, wanting to struggle a bit.
What kind of weird obsession does this guy have?
Does he just enjoy tormenting her to satisfy his perverse desires?
And... just thinking about that strange combination of popping candy made her shiver.
If she could, she really didn't want to eat it again!
[Just thinking about that strange candy made Lin Zichan feel a chill, emotional fluctuation +18, congratulations, you have received the reward [Cultivation Years +2]!]
...
"Don't bargain with me! You don't have the right to bargain with me!
"You have two choices: one is to accept, the other is also to accept!"
"President Lin is also a smart person, you should know how to choose, right?"
Mu An said lightly.
The sense of threat was self-evident.
Since she took advantage of his family, he naturally wouldn't let her get away with it without paying something!
At the very least, she had to give him a good amount of gold coins!
As a professional villain, he had to maximize the extraction of the female lead's resources and continuously brush emotional rewards!
"Alright!"
After struggling for a long time, Lin Zichan closed her beautiful eyes and finally spat out a word with difficulty.
In the end, she chose to compromise.
She had no choice left.
Currently, everything she had was highly dependent on the Mu family and Mu An.
Without the protection of the towering tree that is the Mu family, relying solely on herself, she would soon be devoured by those ruthless relatives in her family!
She didn't know how other families were.
But in her large family, it was that cruel and heartless!
Women were merely tools for the family to gain benefits!
And now, the price she was paying was just to satisfy some of his strange quirks!
[Compromise and helpless emotional fluctuation from Lin Zichan +20, congratulations, you have received the reward [Luck +20]!]
"Then... let's have a pleasant cooperation! My dear 'fiancée'! I look forward to your excellent performance!"
Mu An's lips curled up slightly.
A mere president female lead, wasn't she easily manipulated by him?
[Hehe, female lead's emotional rewards, come to my bowl!]
"..."
Lin Zichan was somewhat at a loss for how to express her current feelings.
Looking forward to her performance?
How perverted can this person be!
[Just thinking about being tormented by you again, Lin Zichan's indignation emotional fluctuation +20, congratulations, you have received the reward [Proficiency +6000]!]
[Faced with the cruel reality, Lin Zichan felt helpless, emotional fluctuation +25, congratulations, you have received the reward [Famous Song of Blue Star: The Business of Love]!]
[From Lin Zichan's condescending disdainful gaze, emotional fluctuation +30, congratulations, you have received the reward [Fortune +30]!"]
